What a Monday!!

Chip has been sick all weekend. He has had diarrhea and vomiting since Saturday night. I dropped Rainey off at MDO this morning and took Chip to Urgent Care. What a waste of our $45 copay. They can't do anything there....no blood work, x-rays or IV. Based on their "physical exam" of Chip, he has severe dehydration - DUH!! I could have told you that. Anyway, they sent us to the ER. Luckily, I have a friend who is a PA at the ER and they got him right into a room. There were about 15 patients there with flu-like symptoms so I left with Aden as we don't need him to get sick. They have pumped Chip full with fluids and took x-rays and blood work. Hopefully, he can come home soon.

Just as I got home from dropping Chip off, MDO called and said Rainey has a fever of 101 (Chip did not have a fever). I loaded Aden back up and off to pick up Rainey. He felt okay when I got there and showed no other signs of being sick. I checked his temp when we got home. It was 100. He was eating, running around and acting just fine. Did I mention he cut a tooth this morning and has another one coming in? I bet that is why his temp is a little high. Oh, the pediatric dentist told me last week he wouldn't get any more teeth in for a while...not the case. I gave him Tylenol and laid him down for a nap. A few minutes later, he woke up crying with his fingers in his mouth. I laid him on the bed with me and he went back to sleep (the picture below).

Aden and I are feeling great and hope to stay that way. Aden took a nap in his crib for the first time this afternoon. He is sleeping about 5 hours a night so I think we are going to migrate to the crib. We'll work on that this week.
